The singer said in a statement that she is "very flattered that X Factor let me know that I was being considered for next season, but it just wouldn't be possible."

Why not? A representative of Jackson's camp told E! News that the singer is simply too busy to adjust her schedule for the show, due to her commitment to her Number Ones Up Close and Personal Tour and an upcoming Tyler Perry movie.

Good thing she clarified things early -- apparently, Janet Jackson claims that they had "absolutely no meetings" with anyone from The X Factor in regard to a possible judging spot.
